Each participating candidate will have a half-hour slot to present and answer questions. The first 15 minutes will focus on the candidate’s platform and what each will do to support NKU students, education and their platform generally. This will be followed by a 15-minute question/answer session.

All candidates from the northern Kentucky region participating in contested elections were invited to present. The candidates were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. One person from each of these races will represent NKU, and the northern Kentucky region in Frankfort or Washington, D.C.
